Re: List: Sultan of Brunei's complete car collection

He sure has a few really great cars in his collection ...but this is not the collection of a connoisseur, just an excessive impulse-shopping spree. Most of these vehicles are not particularly outstanding considering how much money has been spent. There are very few genuine classic cars here except for a couple of 300SL Gullwings and a handful of 600 limousines. There are a few custom-made vehicles ..but mostly this is not a particularly outstanding collection except for the fact that it stands out as a striking example of the grotesque inequity in the world.

I wonder what's keeping his constituents from overthrowing him?
Probably the fact that he pays them handsomely for their 'loyalty'.

Rediculous collection to say the least. I wonder just how often he even drives. I'm guessing if he drove on the streets, someone would throw something at him. Probably made his own private track and so on. Heck, he has his own aircraft...so what else would you expect from him!

Re: List: Sultan of Brunei's complete car collection

What kind of a person buys the same cars just to have different colors (I saw 3 F50's in Luw's post)?? As much as I adore cars, that is totally out of control. It's sad that some cars probably don't get much attention, something that would never happen with my cars

Re: List: Sultan of Brunei's complete car collection

There's not a single modern car (>2000) in this list.... no more money or an old list? I'm guessing the latter, considering the oil price.

Edit; well maybe the Lexus cars and some of the 911 models...
